ANC considering establishment of new anti-corruption agency
The ANC’s policy head Jeff Radebe says the party is considering the establishment of a new anti-corruption agency following the findings of the state capture commission.
The report found that most of the corruption in government under the Zuma administration happened under the nose of the ANC.
Radebe briefed the media at Luthuli House on Wednesday ahead of the party's national policy conference this weekend.
"Constitutional, legislative, and structural changes proposed by the Commission have been referred to the relevant NEC Committees for deliberation. We are considering the recommendations from the commission on public procurement,” said Radebe.
"The NEC Peace and Stability Committee and the NEC Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee are together considering the recommendations around a new anti-corruption agency, the protection of whistleblowers, and deferred prosecution agreements.
"The ANC will review its policies with respect to cadre deployment policy and practice, party funding principles, organisational discipline and accountability, and parliamentary oversight."
The party says it will use the report to guide it in its renewal and implicated members to present themselves to the integrity commission within two months.
Radebe says the integrity commission is expected to complete the processing of the implicated members within six months.
